<p>So I have the ACT next Saturday, and I finished the Real ACT book and I've been trying to find other guides to use. I've heard mixed reviews about ACT for Dummies and McGraw Hill. What your recommendations?</p>
<p>Also, if anyone has any tips on how to get a 30+ that would be great!</p>
<p>I have taken the ACT once, and got a 33 on it. To be cliche about it, practice makes perfect. Just take multiple practice tests, and see where your weaknesses are. Focus on those sections, then take one more practice test prior to the test. Familiarity with ACT questions breeds success, and I cannot stress enough that practice tests are the way to do well on the ACT. As for books, the Real ACT book is excellent, and I’ve been using Cambridge review books. I think I have also used Amsco’s ACT Math and Science, but only for the math sections.</p>
<p>I really liked the McGraw Hill actually, it was succinct and far from verbose, it was basically real talk. It also has a few helpful strategies that I hadn’t thought of. I agree with Debater1996, the ACT really does seem to respond more to practice than the SAT, so PRACTICE TESTS!</p>
<p>I’ve heard its easier than the actual test though, so I wasn’t sure if it was helpful or not. But yea i agree! I like their explanations better.</p>
<p>Kaplan is my top pick, then Princeton.</p>
<p>Princeton is the best for me</p>
